I appreciate that you say you know nothing about the artist’s work, but perhaps it’s worthwhile doing a little research. If you don’t like pop art, then it’s to be expected that you won’t like his work. But he is a hugely respected artist of that genre. Before being quite so dismissive, maybe look at some more of his huge and respected body of work.

approciate the critic ethics, but we need you to dropout some knowledge,,

Here's a description of the image.
Ed Ruscha’s career-long exploration of horizontality has included compendia of the buildings of urban Los Angeles, word paintings, photo books, and prints running the full gamut of his readymade subjects, all of which highlight his admitted fascination with the language of landscape. The mattress is a particular kind of landscape, though; a decidedly horizontal object and one that supports both physically and psychically, engendering the production of those imaginary landscapes called dreams.In his recent series, "Metro Mattresses", Ruscha has produced an intimate portrait of a certain kind of dream, now encountered as a discarded object tossed out onto the street, which Ruscha photographed and then translated to the flat two-dimensional plane. What type of landscape is this mattress set? A clue is given by the reversal of the usual order of things – box spring on top of mattress, bloody smears moving against the laws of gravity. Beneath the transparent fabric cover of the box spring, we see what looks like a picture frame, or a cross – both sights of imaginary projection. In Ruscha’s exacting image, who could blame us for believing that maybe there really is no difference between the two?

From where, and by whom, out of interest? I think that there may be a blurring between seriousness and irony occurring, but I’ve got lost as to by whom!

Ed Ruscha , by tdelsh on Sept 21, 2019 6:03:06 GMT 1, Im researching his different printing methods and have study printing technique, i just can figure out where im standing on diton print.
it seams to be the last thing before a common inkjet/pigment print, with the exception that they achieved a more accurate color through integrated software that captures the color RGB and enhance the hardware precision on output color/surface medium.
i’ve seen his older work being lithographs and some mixed of etching and silkscreen, e’m I to assume those are Ruscha most coveted technique since he used to press the actual paper onto the lithographic plate to creat the right color and density.

I have only ever seen his head liner pieces and would love to own a piece one day but 200-300k for a single screen print, WOW, hope Banksy catches in his own time! What does a print like the mattress cost? Edition size?
